    SurfaceController deployment

    Afternoon,

    I'm using the latest version of Umbraco & I have a requirement whereby I need to create a SurfaceController to access some data in an external database via my Umbraco hosted website. I have written my SurfaceController, domain classes, models and repositories in a single external assembly & I have my custom views ready to go. Ultimately I'd like to create a package to deploy this on my hosted Umbraco installation.

    The issue I have is that I can't find any tutorials or similar that describe creating SurfaceControllers in an external assembly.

    I have tried deploying my assembly (which contains Controller, Repos, Models etc) into the bin folder, the App_Plugins folder (as per the docs) along with the views etc. but all to no avail. Currently everything I've tried results in a "No route in the route table matches the supplied values." error which isn't too helpful :)

    Does anyone have any pointers to how I can go about this? I'd rather not have to compile this into my Umbraco site as all the tutorials I've seen suggest.

    Thanks

    Lewis

    Managed to get a little bit further with this.

    I've created an empty website project and pulled in the Umbraco.CMS binaries from Nuget, if I then set a reference from this site to my assembly (and put the views in the right folder) it all works fine.

    I'm obviously missing something somewhere, config file perhaps?
